A cold front was moving into western Washington and we were told that some areas in the Puget Sound could get some snow. I was hoping for another "snomageddon" since we bought a snow shovel last year. This time we were going to be prepared. I was looking forward to another couple of snow days. I wanted a lot of snow.
I got up early on Monday and headed into work a half hour earlier just in case the roads were icy. I saw there was a light dusting of snow that had froze to the Escape. I was disappointed we only got a dusting of snow.
It barely touched the tips of the grass. I arrived just as my boss did and she was like why are you here this early? I said they said the roads might be icy so I gave myself plenty of time. She was like, oh good plan. The rest of the week except Thursday I came in early so I got to leave early. It was nice.
The next day, Tuesday, we actually got a couple of inches of snow on the ground and again, I was disappointed. Where was all of this snow we were promised? Apparently, the front missed us and everyone else, mostly to the north of us, all the snow. I was upset. That was my snow.
Again, I left home and got to work early. I didn't want to risk a car accident or getting to work late. I spent my morning and afternoon walk outside just because I wanted to enjoy it while it lasted. It came so late in the winter this might be all we get this year.
The next day it was cold but all of our snow was gone. We didn't get anymore that winter. We got it all last winter and probably won't get that much for another 4-6 years.
This year was already starting to get disappointing with all the weird weather that was striking the globe. This month, the entire country of Australia was on fire and it did a lot of damage. About half of their native animals died due to the fires especially their koalas. The rain finally came but it had already done the damage. Was this year going to be awful? I guess we will wait and see.
